I could not have said it any better than the way Bob Walsh described it.
ZERO TOLERANCE OR ZERO BRAINS????

I confess to being a fan of good discipline in school. You should not have to put up with kids carrying guns, assaulting staff, assaulting other students, tearing up property, or even being bullies. At some point, however, it becomes stupidity.
Take for instance arch criminal Zachary Christie, age 6. He was admittedly guilty of the heinous offense of taking a Cub Scout eating implement, a spork, to school with him to use at lunch. He had just joined up and wanted to use his new knife-spoon-fork combination. His sentence, 45 days in a "reform school" program operated off-site by the school district.
That will show him I guess. What it will show him is another matter. Maybe how stupid and inflexible adults can be if they have their heads up their asses and their brains disengaged.
His parents, who are not idiots, are home-schooling him for the 45 days rather than send him to "reform school".
I'm sure the school authorities in Newark, Delaware are pleased that they have made their campuses safe from 6-year olds armed with sporks.
